Dear Families,
Junior Sports Day
This Friday we will be hosting the Cluster Junior
Sports Day for Yr P-2 students. The 5/6s will be
leaders assisting with a group each and the Yr
3/4s will have classes inside.
Parent helpers are needed to man and serve the
BBQ Meal Deal. Please let Kim know if you are
available for a couple of hours. Meal Deal orders
are due back now.
Lateness
This has been an ongoing issue. Please ensure
that your child is ready for learning when the
bell goes at 9am. Arriving at school at 8.50am
with time to unpack, go to the toilet and chat
with friends and the teacher before the bell
goes at 9am is a much more relaxed way to start
the morning than rushing in when the bell has
already gone.
Reporting
Each semester teachers write an end of
semester report for each child. This process has
already started. Last night staff took a closer
look at student writing samples from this term
and discussed areas of growth that students had
mad. It was a great discussion and pleasing to
see and read the work that all students are
producing.
A quick snap shot sees 42% of our students
working above the expected level in writing.
Out of interest 88% of students are work above
the expected level in reading.
Our work with MSL will continue next year and
we will continue to have writing as a focus for
teacher development. I am very proud of our
teachers and Aides. They work hard everyday
with a focus on individual improvement for each
and everyone of our students.
Staffing 2020
I can now confirm that Sarah and Joel will both be
teaching next year. Until final numbers are known a
final decision regarding class arrangements will not
be made until later in the year.
Production
Students have been introduced to the music and
some dances for the production with practise being
ramped up from next week. Monday, Wednesday
and Thursday afternoon students will work in small
groups with Sarah so please assist your child to
learn their lines at home.
Swimming
Swimming starts on the 25th November with 7
lessons and a pool party. Same arrangements as
the beginning of the year with lessons from 2.30-
3.15pm. Pick up by parents from the pool. If
students need OSHC please let Kim know and we
can arrange transport back with a teacher. All
students must have a rash top.
School Fees 2020
Families will have received a letter today with
information regarding fees for 2020. We are
pleased to advise that the fees for 2020 have
slightly decreased. This is due to the school being
awarded access to the Nessy program for free in
2020. This has decreased the web based program
amounts. Attached is also an explanation from the
Victorian Government to what schools are able to
charge families for. CSEF funding will also be
available in 2020 for families who have a current
Health Care Card. An application for this is also
attached for eligible families to complete. These
funds are able to go towards camps and excursions,
such as swimming program, excursion levy, ski
program etc. The amount paid is $125 per eligible

MSL Mathlete of the Week

to earn over 1000 points.
Well done to Alec and Allira who have had
the award the last 2 weeks. It is great to see
the award been shared out amongst a range
of grades and year levels.
The GIANT Swing - by Charlotte Yr 3
Under six warm layers of clothes I was in the wet freezing rain with my huge blue rain coat shivering with fear. I was excited but at the same time I was incredibly nervous. I felt butterflies in my tummy when I got clipped onto the swing. They pulled me up and before I could even see through my goggles I pulled the rope … it was MAGNIFICENT.
I was shouting WooHooo! I was up soooo high! It was a cool view.
With pins and needles I climbed down the ladder, my heart racing with excitement. My eyes were open like an owls yellow eye staring into the dark forest.
3/4 Camp Howmans Gap
Despite the cold wet weather our Yr 3/4 students had an
action packed camp last week at Howmans Gap. Thanks to
Sarah and Josh for all their hard work over the camp.
